Does anyone from Holy Cross know how the HC player who took a pitch in the face (nose?) is doing? Hope he is OK... The poor umpire behind the plate sure took a beating today also....

....but those shoes were shiny and his pants were creased. Best-dressed umpire in baseball.

5 of the 10 in the lineup were SOPHS, I believe, for CCH today. Has that ever happened at CCH?

Don't know, but.....he looked to me to have some tears in his eyes on that one.

 

All kidding aside, that one had to hurt.......

 

After the first one, I told him, that that was the first of many for the season, and he shook his head and said that the one was enough for him. He really did take a beating....

 

A tip of the cap to the men in blue today. The home plate umpire I though was consistence in giving the batter the benefit of doubt on outside pitches, but he did it both ways, so no complaint.....It is early in the season for them also.... Good job blue......

Duncan is a lacrosse player now, from what I understand.

I don't follow.

Bottom line... If the underclassmen are better, they play, and this group of young men are very, very good...... As many have said, CovCath Baseball only gets better over the next couple of years......and they aren't bad now, as the coaches poll placed them preseason second.

 

CovCath edges Holy Cross
